CBSE/Dir/SE/DT&I/2022 26th April 2022

Circular No.: ACAD-49/2022

All the Heads of Schools affiliated to CBSE

Subject: Offering ‘Design Thinking & Innovation’ as a Skill Module to Middle school students

It is believed that Design Thinking and Innovation will assume an ever more important role in the future of
our world. It will help address, identify, and solve problems creatively, whatever the field or specialization. It
would be useful to find solutions to issues both within one’s own neighborhood and to issues at a National
or Global level. It will also be a useful tool for us to move towards a creative economy in the coming years.
CBSE in collaboration with the Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell and Faculty of IIT Bombay has
developed the Skill Module on ‘Design Thinking & Innovation’ for Middle school students (Classes VI -VIII).
The Study Material, Teacher Resource Material, FAQs for this module are available on the CBSE Academic
website and can also be accessed directly using the link: https://cbseacademic.nic.in/skill-education-
books.html
With the ‘Design Thinking & Innovations (DT&I)’ Skill Module, CBSE aims at providing students with the tools
and exposure to be able to address problems using the design thinking process. This module on ‘Design
Thinking & Innovations’ is designed in such a way that students learn to acquire both knowledge of design
and practice of skills required to develop an attitude towards design. It focuses more on hands-on knowledge
learnt by doing and acting upon challenges discovered within the community and surroundings.
As informed earlier in CBSE Circular No. 38/2021, a school need not apply separately to CBSE for introducing
any Skill Module in Middle School (Classes VI/VII/VIII). The school should fill in the details (with these skill
Modules) in the OASIS form.
However, the schools who shall be introducing the Skill Module on ‘Design Thinking & Innovation’ in classes
VI/VII/VIII from the session 2022-2023 should provide the information to CBSE about the school and the
teachers who are teaching these modules using the link https://forms.gle/oM31EkfwEmhgThcr7. This
information shall be used by the Board for mentoring/handholding and training of these teachers.
